Yeast glucosamine treatment

ABSTRACT: We did transcription profiling on the effect of glucosamine in Saccharomyces cerevisiae using Research Genetics strains BY4741 (wild type) and 5251 (fks1). Yeast cells exposed to glucosamine in YPD growth medium show a significant increase in chitin content in the lateral cell wall. Likewise, cell wall stress caused by a gene deletion e.g., fks1 also results in elevated chitin. By comparing our data for fks1 with those from the literature we confirmed a strong induction of genes responsive to cell wall integrity, environmental stress as well as genes involved in cell signaling. Wild type cells treated with 15 mM glucosamine for 2 hours did not show any significant change in their transcription profile although the chitin level doubled during this time. For cells continuously exposed to glucosamine (steady state) there was a moderate transcription response, 105 genes showed a two-fold or higher change. The largest groups of up-regulated genes were those involved in mating, sporulation and cell cycle arrest. The largest group of down-regulated genes pertained to mitochondrial respiration. There was little overlap between those genes that have altered transcription from glucosamine treatment and those responsive to the fks1 mutation.

E-mail: staceyg@missouri.edu; Abstract: Chitin, a polymer of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, is found in fungal cell walls, but not in plants. Plant cells are capable of perceiving chitin fragments (chitooligosaccharides) to trigger various defense responses. We identified a LysM receptor-like protein (AtLysM RLK1) that is required for the perception of chitooligosaccharides in Arabidopsis. Mutation of this gene blocked the induction of almost all chitooligosaccharide-responsive genes (CRGs) and led to more susceptibility to fungal pathogens, but not to a bacterial pathogen. In addition, exogenously applied chitooligosaccharides enhanced resistance against both fungal and bacterial pathogens in the wild-type plants, but not in the mutant. Together, our data strongly suggest AtLysM RLK1 is the chitin receptor or a key part of the receptor complex and chitin is a PAMP (pathogen-associated molecular pattern) in fungi recognized by the receptor leading to the induction of plant innate immunity against fungal pathogens. Since LysM RLKs were also recently shown to be critical for the perception of the rhizobial lipo-chitin Nod signals, our data suggest that LysM RLKs not just recognize friendly symbiotic rhizobia (via their lipo-chitin Nod signals), but also hostile fungal pathogens (via their cell wall chitin). These data suggest a possible evolutionary relationship between the perception mechanisms of Nod signals and chitin by plants. Experiment Overall Design: wild type Col-0 and chitin receptor mutants treated with or without chitooctaose
